I had seen this pillow (retails for $44) on Home Accents Today and got an inspiration to make a similar pillow using iron on flocking material and a pillow and velvet pillowcase from Ikea. My total cost was $14 (pillow, case and iron on flocking material). You could probably do it even less expensively if you used regular fabric and some heat 'n bond.

In the Fall 2011 Stampin Up! mini catalog, I saw kraft bags made with a spider cut out and thought, "Hey, I've got a cut like that on the Chic and Scary Cricut cartridge..." so I decided to make these bags. I added in the corner web, also from the cartridge. These make such quick and easy treat bags for a Halloween party. They went together very quickly!

WOW what great projects everything is scary for sure!! You sure come up with darndest ideas and they are all wonderful. I love all the little creatures that's why I have all the cartridges I do just can't pick and choose I need them all *well need hmmm probably not true* but sure do love 'em and have so much with all of 'em!! I love all the great idea you guys come up with sure helps the creative juices to flow. THANK YOU!!!

Very cute pillow. I wish I could work with fabric, never been real good at it. I love owls! Both real and whimsical. My friend loves the whimsical ones and is using them to decorate her craft room, so I'm always on the look out for them.

I like the decor bags.I think "cute" halloween is fun.I like owls. They are very trendy this year.I sell jewelry for Origami Owl and this would work great for making product bags and such. all the icons for the company are owls, so I have quite a collection and this would be a great addition. -Jenn Kaudiogirl333(at yahoo)

I have a Grandson, who choose to have an Owl Birthday last year for his 10th birthday. I used the owl from Animal Kingdom. We had owl invites, owl bg toppers, Giant owls on the wall, and Daddy made an awsome Owl cake. Now my Grandkids call me when they want party decorations.

Neat homemade pillow idea. I'm not that advanced yet but one day I'll be.

I've been eyeing the hoot n holler cartridge for a while so I would love to win this one. I think owls are the cutest and I've come across some adorable ones on the twinkle toes and sugar and spice cartridges but a whole cart full of owls would be great!

According to my Mom, having owls in your house is suppose to bring you good luck. She did an entire bathroom in an owl theme just for that reason when they built their house. I love the mysteriousness of owls and they are suppose to be wise so it makes sense to me. Gotta love owls.

Excellent ideas, gives me an idea to put a hoot owl on a pillow for my grandson who was volunteering at the zoo over the summer and working with an owl named Hagrid. Those treat bags are just so cute. Love all your projects. Thanks for the idea, and a chance to win.

Those are great projects! My brother has loved owls since he was young. Now, I'm on the owl bandwagon! I had just missed getting that cartridge at my Wal-Mart :( Now they no longer carry Cricut cartridges, except what is left on clearance. Thanks so much for the chance to win!

Think of the birthday and Christmas pillows you can make! What a fabulous idea!! LOVE the Halloween bags ~ ahhhh ~ lots of ideas for bags now!! Thank you, thank you! LOVE owls ~ they're a hoot! They just make you smile...SusanJ in Atlanta

I remember the pillow from the first time around! Just as now, I thought then about how to change this up for every holiday. Maybe I will do better this year!! I have to say that the first time you see and owl, it is a little scary--or maybe just startling! But after the initial shock, they are very fascinating to watch.Shellee

Well, I can get to your blog from within my blog but thought you may want to know that I emailed you that when I click from the email I get from your blog your blog post comes up and it is blank except for stuff at top. There are 2 other blogs that seem to have a problem: Craft Your Passion & Crafty Sentiments. This problem started yesterday Tues 9/4. Would like to know if anyone else has experienced this problem? Like the pillow & bags.Melissa"Sunshine HoneyBee"

Owls are so in right now!!! Now I get why my grandmother (who passed a few years back) was crazy for these guys. As a kid, I thought they were the ugliest birds. Now, I just can't get enough of them. :)

I like owls. I really like the pillow that you did and I love the bags! We do a big hayride/ trick or treat party every year with friends. There are tons of kids. Personalized bags would be great to keep their candy separate.

The pillow is ok, but not so sure I'd use it... but really love the bags... great idea for those few bags you make up special, for special kids you know or young grandkids that come around in their cute costumes. Gosh, hard to believe that Halloween is almost upon us.

Super cute pillow and bags! That cartridge is definitely on my wish list :) My sister LOVES owls, so through her I have been influenced (like that was hard!) I really like the whimsical ones :) thanks for another chance to win!

Beautiful idea for creating unique decor pillows. I also love the halloween treat bags, think i will use this idea as a treat bag for my daycare children:) Would love to win the hoot cartridge. The owls would make cute decals on the treat bags too, wouldn't that be a hoot, lol :)Thanks for the great inspiration!!!!

Love the spider bag. My grandsons would think they are really cool. Love owls, however, still haven't bought a Cricut cart with them. Guess I'm going to have to do something about that. :)Hugs, CyndiUcureta2 at yahoo dot com

I love the pillow. The bags are so cute, we get so few trick or treaters that I usually make nice bags filled with goodies for them. I love owls. I had never seen one in the wild before until a few months ago, I was driving and saw one fly by-very exciting.

Amazing pillows and adorable treat bags. Love the simplicity without neglecting the HOORAY! I love owls, but I have a best friend, Heather Lynn, whoo whoo really <3 LOVES <3 owls! This would be a great cartridge to have for her quarterly OWL Blog Hops!!!:O)Jessica S

The spider bags are so cute! I have not seen the Hoot and Holler cartridge before! My daughter and I are crazy for Owls! She decorated the baby's nursery in woodland critters with lots of owls. Would love to win this cartridge so the baby's 1st scrapbook will need lots of trees and owls! Thanks for the inspiration that you give us!

I love owls. I incorporate them in my Halloween projects all the time. There is just something mystical about them. By the way I love the pillow idea. As soon as I am done with my next project I will have to try this out.
